New control strategy of stand-alone brushless doubly-fed induction generator for supplying unbalanced loads in ship shaft power generation system

The ship shaft power generation system based on a stand-alone brushless doubly-fed induction generator (BDFIG) have demonstrated excellent saving-energy performance. This paper presents a new control scheme of the stand-alone BDFIG for supplying unbalanced loads in the ship shaft power generation system. The positive-and negative-sequence components of the unbalanced power winding (PW) voltage caused by the unbalanced loads are regulated separately. Comprehensive experiments are carried out on a prototype BDFIG by employing the conventional and proposed control schemes. The experimental results verify the good performance of the proposed control scheme.
